Elle Kennedy
The first book in the delicious, icy-hot Campus Diaries series, a spinoff of BookTok sensations Off-Campus and Briar U, by New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy. Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine-a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude...and sexy as hell. But he's still the enemy. Briar's new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men's team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another's guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad. The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they're trying to ignore. It's a dangerous game they're playing, but the risks just might be worth it.

"5/5 ⭐️ dual pov and on KU. I love Elle Kennedy and the entire Briar U world so I obviously loved this one. The a little tension, a little angst, personal growth and a healthy dash of spice make for a great time! Also no 3rd act breakup! The spice is this book was super good! Lots of variety. 3.5/5 spice level. If you’ve read The Deal and loved it this is a must read. "

"I really wanted to give this book a 5 stars review but it was a bit long. 500 pages wasn’t necessary. But it was a cute enemies to lovers story. Loved the characters development. No third act breakup or miscommunication trope. "
